The chevron pattern behind the figure is painted in gold leaf and crimson — the meeting of traditional geometric patterning and raw painterly mark — the kind of ground that makes the green figure in front of it feel like it is emerging from the earth rather than sitting on a surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two red eyes hold you. They have always held you. The hei-tiki's gaze is not a human gaze — it is older than that, more patient, the gaze of an ancestor who has been watching from this form for longer than the canvas has existed and will continue watching long after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMana\u003c\/em\u003e — prestige, authority, spiritual power. \u003cem\u003eTiki\u003c\/em\u003e — the first human form, the ancestor, the guardian.
